You may already run on Linux (via "script") cdrecord -checkdrive -V and remove the last part that only contains calls to "read buffer". The mode select calls show the right information for debugging. > When I get a chance to try this with Windows, I'll follow up. It'll be six > hours or so at least before I get there. If it also does not work on Windows, I would like to see a test on Solaris. You may do this with without installing things by e.g. running a SchilliX CD ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schillix/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schillix/SchilliX-0.5.2.iso.bz2 if a bit old but should be sufficient for you for a simple test. The nice thing with Solaris is that you get more than 16 bytes of Sense data which may include a byte/bit pointer for "illegal byte in CDB" messages.
